This is the first winter for my railroad . We are trying out different materials and seeing how they hold up . This year should be a real test as we had temperatures at 62 degrees on wednesday and rain and today ,saturday it's 4 degrees outside. The ground is heaving as I type this . One of the materials I am testing is tile mortar for my roads . I went out there yesterday and noticed a lot of cracks in the road . Maybe come spring i'll try filling the cracks with a thin bead of tar . Just like the real thing !Thats one of the things that is apealing to me about outdoor garden trains . You have to fight the elements like the real railroads do .Trains outside just look better cuz of the sunlite . Anyway heres a picture of my steam engine out back .
